Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an operation receiver configured to receive a predetermined operation, a first communication interface connectable with an external device, and a controller. The controller is configured to, in response to the operation receiver receiving the predetermined operation when the first communication interface is not connected with the external device, perform a first imaging process, and in response to the operation receiver receiving the predetermined operation when the first communication interface is connected with the external device, perform a second imaging process using the external device. The second imaging process is different from the first imaging process.
Claims11
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an operation receiver configured to receive a predetermined operation;
- a first communication interface connectable with an external device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- in response to the operation receiver receiving the predetermined operation when the first communication interface is not connected with the external device, perform a first imaging process;
- and
- in response to the operation receiver receiving the predetermined operation when the first communication interface is connected with the external device, perform a second imaging process using the external device, the second imaging process being different from the first imaging process.
